Hrm, nobody has responded. I guess nobody cares?


If I don't hear anything back in the next few days, I'll go ahead and commit the change.


I wrote those lines because we use readdir native command through MacPorts instead of glob. I don't know why, but I thought there was a good reason for the presence and use of a native replacement. Maybe when the readdir command was developed, it was in the Tcl 8.2.x area and glob didn't take the -directory option. Or the glob function from the Tcl version that shipped with a supported release of MacOS X was buggy or horribly slow.


And this isn't a potential issue anymore? Are there any systems that MacPorts may be used on today that might have any of the possible problems you described?
